I have a quart of 22 line Glasurit that I am willing to trade for a twin engine Cessna.

I have used single stage urethane with hardener for many cars and painted a D1100 International with Guards Red (BASF) Limco SS with hardener. I like the Challenger BC CC that is part of Axalta (old DuPont). It's a fairly expensive economy line behind their high end Chromabase.

I know all about the sanding and buffing. See picture up by upper right of window seal. Orange peel in the Limco that I did not sand out enough but it shines like a bowse.
